"Sebastian's weakness is" Grell paused, and her eyes drifted towards the drenched neko for an almost unnoticeable amount of time watching them shift uncomfortably from side to side "cats." Alois excited face dropped and switch to a confused frown but then quickly switched to a smirk as if he had just figured something out.
"Now" Grell reached for (y/n)'s hand, the neko slowly offered their hand back "I'll be taking what is mine" (y/n) flinched at the word "mine" the reapers hand hesitate for a second before pulling the neko into her chest. Alois just smiled and walked away without a word, usually (y/n) would find this highly suspicious however they were too intoxicated by Grell's familiar, comforting perfume to care.
"The butler is still lurking isn't he?" Grell whispered in the nekos fluffy black ears making the (h/c)ette's face turn bright red. (Y/n) slowly nodded making Grell let out a frustrated grunt.
"Lovely" the sarcasm in Grell's tone made (y/n) giggle slightly "Undertaker and a friend of mine will take care of him don't worry" before the neko could respond they were picked up bridal style by the reaper, (y/n) let out a surprised yelp as they clung to the ruby red reaper. Grell blushed.
"Could you do a favour for me?" Grell asked bashfully, (y/n) already knew what she wanted and automatically placed their forehead against the reaper's while lightly purring. Grell's tense posture relaxed as she held the neko close, cradling them in her arms, oh how she missed this feeling.
"let's go back home" Grell said while pulling away and walking towards a carriage, the neko's smile faded.
...
Home?
The last time that word was said to (y/n) was when...
"(Y/N) needs to return home"Ciel Stated.
...
The word "home" re-played in their mind. Home, where was home? Was it were Grell was taking them? The last time they went "home" they ended up at the Trancy manor! Were they going back there? They didnt want to! NOT AGAIN! (Y/n) started to struggle and thrash around in the Reaper's arms, leaving Grell confused and three "hidden" people confused.
"Are you ok dear?" Grell asked while placing the neko down, (y/n) stumbled backwards until they were pressed against the cold, rough brick wall of the alleyway.
"NO! PLEASE DON'T TAKE ME BACK TO HIS MANOR!" (Y/n) screamed in panic while tears welled in their eyes. Grell was utterly confused and concerned, what could they be talking about? whose he? could it be Ciel?
"Dear calm down" Grell softly reassured the neko " Everything is ok" hesitantly she stepped towards the neko with her arms out for (Y/n) to climb into, thankfully (y/n)'s heart beat started to slow reaching the nekos relaxed BPM, although they still stayed against the wall "please... Don't" they huskily replied clearly recovering from their moment of panic.
"You have got to tell me who this person is first" Grell was now on one knee to reach (y/n)'s level.
"His high-" The neko stopped the automated response that was about to slip out of their mouth "Earl T-Trancy" Grell's face had a mix of hurt and sympathy, she was hurt that (y/n) would ever believe that she would take them back there, and they felt so sorry for the poor dear. However on the Buildings above a certain demon huffed at the Nekos words and two unhappy reapers glared daggers at the Butler, they were pretending they didnt know was there.
"I would never in a million years take you back to that place dear" Grell promised the cowering feline. (Y/n) shakily offered their hand in response ,Grell smiled and took the small, slightly scarred neko's hand in hers unable to tell if the neko was shaking from fear or the cold.
"Let's go see Red, she misses you a lot" Grell happily yet softly told (y/n) who smiled in response and nodded their head at the thought of seeing Red. The butler above them heard this and dashed towards madam reds estate the two reapers on the parallel building following in pursuit. The ruby red reaper smirked at this and kept walking towards the carriage but then stopped.
"where are your shoes?" Grell asked, (Y/n) shrugged and looked down at their cold, wet bare feet, remembering they were only wearing black stockings which were soaked with rain and mud. Grell mentally cursed out Trancy, confusing (y/n).
